Title: Oil leak at Oberdorfer Pump gasket
Post by: britinusa on February 18, 2018, 01:11:15 PM
Our recently installed new Oberdorfer pump is leaking (just an annoying amount) between the Pump and the Engine Body. It was a new Gasket.

Is there a trick to seating the gasket, some goop on each side? etc?

Pau : You shouldn't need anything, but if you do try some #2 non hardening Pernitex (auto store).
